on our little trip to the Armenian grocery store we picked up apricot jam and walnut preserve.
they were both delicious. the apricot jam is slightly tart and really fresh. i wish i could afford some really nice cheese to have it with (it didn't really work well with the Armenian string cheese). i imagine a parmigiano reggiano would go perfectly with the apricot jam or even a nice goats cheese.
the walnut preserve is also really special. they're whole, cooked and spiced with cinnamon and cloves (note: they are fresh walnuts baby walnuts, not in their shell). again, these would go really well with a nice sharp cheese. they look like little plums, dark and gleaming. the taste is unlike anything i've had before, i've had this with thick greek yogurt (or labneh) and it is sooo good.
i look forward to breakfast just knowing i have these sitting in my fridge.
